When a late-night call revealed foam discharging into the Mississippi River, chemical engineer Liz Rayfield had to make a decision—one that would shut down an entire plant for a week and cost millions.
In this episode, Liz joins Dennis for a raw and insightful discussion about:
• Ethical responsibility under pressure
• Speaking up when management wants silence
• The operator who trusted his gut
• Why “legal” doesn’t always mean “right”
• How young engineers build credibility and courage
• Industry, licensure, and becoming a true professional
A must-listen for engineers in manufacturing, energy, chemical, civil, or any safety-critical field.
This isn’t just engineering.
This is leadership.
